Rainbow PowerPaddle Set
Add power and durability to paddle activities with a rigid design that gives students extra pop on every hit while standing up to heavy institutional use. Lightweight construction, textured grips, and Rainbow colors make these paddles ideal for any program.
Rigid Plastic Construction Increases Power
The one-piece molded plastic shell creates a highly durable paddle designed for repeated school and recreation use. Its rigid construction generates added power during rallies and paddle games, helping students send balls farther with less effort while maintaining reliable control.
Waffle Pattern Improves Ball Control
A molded waffle-style hitting surface improves grip on the ball for enhanced shot control and smoother playability. Combined with the lightweight paddle design, students can comfortably practice striking, rallying, and paddle control skills during fast-paced activities and group games.
Rainbow Colors Simplify Organization
Bright Rainbow colors encourage participation while helping teachers and recreation leaders quickly organize teams, stations, and equipment.

Pickleball Paddles
Materials
- Wood: Best for durability and large-group value
- Composite/Graphite: Best for lightweight performance and advanced control
- Plastic: Best for younger students and introductory instruction
When Choosing, Consider:
- Player age: Younger students often benefit from lighter paddles that are easier to control.
- Skill level: Beginners may prefer durable, forgiving paddles, while experienced players often want enhanced touch and precision.
- Practice vs official play: Regulation paddles measure 15-¾ to 16”L x 8”W. Some leagues may require USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) or United Pickleball Association (UPA) approval.
Pickleball Balls
Indoor vs. Outdoor
-
Indoor: Feature 26 larger holes with fewer perforations and a softer feel, creating slower ball speeds and greater control
-
Outdoor: Feature 40 smaller holes with a more rigid plastic to withstand outdoor elements, ensuring they can keep up with more advanced play
When Choosing, Consider:
- Program use: Like with paddles, player age and skill level may benefit from the different conditions indoor or outdoor balls create.
- Construction: Colors enhance visibility while seemless designs offer more consistent play.
- Practice vs official play: USA Pickleball Association (USPA) and Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) have official standards for size, weight, bounce, and performance.
